How to Order and Enable a McAfee Email Protection Pack

In this tutorial we will show you how to order a McAfee Protection Pack from AMP, then activate it in your cPanel.

McAfee protection is available in packs of 1, 5 and 10, and offers advanced email filters that protect you from spam, viruses, and malware. For example a 5-pack would protect 5 E-mail addresses.

When you activate McAfee Email Protection, it will update your MX record to route through McAfee's filter, which can take up to 24 hours to propagate. This means it can take up to 24 hours for McAfee to begin filtering your email for spam.

An order summary will be displayed, choose a payment method and credit card, or enter a new one. Read and agree to the Terms Of Service, and click the Submit button.

It may take a moment to process the order, then you will see a notification stating "Your order has been completed. Please read throough our McAfee Email Protection Quick Start Guide to get up and running. You can always find the link on your Accoount & Billing Detail page if you forget to bookmark." In a few minutes a receipt will be sent to your primary email address. You can click also Continue to be directed to the Account & Billing page.

Your order has now been completed. You can view the bill item under Active Subscriptions.

Activating the McAfee Email Protection:

After you purchase Mcafee Email Protection, it must be activated for the domain you want to protect.

If the domain was registered recently, please allow up to 24 hours after registration for propagation to complete and then attempt to protect the domain again.

Ensure that you are checking the email address that is associated with your AMP account. Typically, this was defined when you first created the account and is used to log into AMP. If you are checking that email address but do not see the email, you may need to ensure that it is not being marked as spam.

Also, when recovering the password, ensure that you are entering the correct email address which would be:
mcafee-admin@YOURDOMAINHERE.com

I ordered McAfee email protection, tried to follow the instructions for activating it, but when I get to the Select Domain step, there is no domain listed in the drop-down box. I'm stuck. I've read your instructions, but am unable to active the service.
